A HIDING PLACE OF THIEVES.
A Lot Of Stolen Property and Suspected
Man Fonnd in Southside House.

For several week the officers who in the
southe astern part of the city. where many
houses have been burgarized, have been trying
to locate the persons doing the work On
several occasions they saw men going into No
184 Deloss street late at night. A woman by
the name of Rafferty, lives in the house, and
rs the police had known of her harboring thieves
before, they believed they had located the head
quarters of the gang Patroman Ronacker has
been watching the house for a week, but
unable to see any one going in or out until yes
terday afternoon. when he saw two men enter.
A few minutes afterward he saw one of them
draw something out of a cellar and immediately
leave. He summoned Sergeant Lowe and
two officers and they surrounded the house and
captured one man who gave his as Lon
Henderson. The premises were searched and a
large quantity of goods that had evidently been
stolen found Among other revolvers
found the stolen from ex-policeman
Hagerdou, at Cumberland, two weeks ago.
With the money were several old copper cents
of tine large style that were evidently being kept
as relics by some In the cellar found
a great many vegetable baskets of the kind used
by the grocers of the city. The officers believe
they have secured the leader Of the gang that
has been giving them much trouble.

The manuscript is dated April Is. 1927, more
than a hundred and sixty years ago. and is still
in a good state of preservation though the writ
ing is somewhat faded. The patent was issued

chased of the latter the tract of land alluded
tom the south side of the Mohawk river,
situate. lying and being in the county of Albany,
and beginning at a certain oylnut (walnutl tree
on the south bank of said Mohawk river and on
tho west bank of brook called Wasentha."
The terms stipulated in the grant are that the

A BANQUET THAT WASN'T GIVEN.
There funny things in connection
with the dramatis persona of the election con-
spiracy that have never got into general circula-
ton. One of these is that complimentary ban
quet that was to have been given to Samuel E.
Perkins, Democratic committeeman from the
Thirteenth ward. during his imprisonment a
party martyr in the Marion county Jail. Mr.
Perkins was then looked upon a hero. under
going vicarious punishment for the
sake of his compatriots. 1t
at that time. while Perkins was
behind the bars, sometime between Christmas
and New Years, that a number of distinguished
Democrats proposed to MIR. Perkins to give him
a banquet in the private room of the Jail adjoin-
ing the office. The gentlemen who proposed
this little testimonial were w. j. Craig, of the
Lockridge and DR.. Helms. Mr.. Perkins, while
fiattered by the compliment of the proposed
testimonial. was afraid the papers might get
hold of it, and at his persuasion the design was
given up. 1t is a strange fact that all the gen
temen whose names here appear were after
wards witnesses in the conspiracy trial. MIR.

The report of the select committee on the rab-
bit nuisance act ia not pleasant reading. The
evidence goes to show that the present system
for the destruction of the rabbits has been a
complete failure. There has been f369 492
spent, and 1858 1877 rabbits have been killed.
while the lamentable fact remains that the rab-
bits have not decreased in numbers but have
rather increased. This is fighting with wrong
weapons evidently.

The Half.Breed Lieutenant Re-
views the incidents of Duck Lake.
Fish Greek and Batoche.
Gabriel DumOnt, the brave lieutenant of
Riel in the Northwestern rebellion. adj
dressed good audience in the hall of st.
Louis school on Tenth street, near Cedar,
last night. He spoke not in the best of
French, but intelligently and with a spas
modic infection. He confined himself to
the Rel rebellion. The first step toward
an assertion of the rights of the half breeds
was when in June, 1884, Dumont went
over into Montana to secure Riel as a dele.
gate to the Canadian government to ask
redress for their grievances. No sooner
did they get across the line into the North
west territory than mounted police were
upon their tracks. At Duck lake the first
shot Of the rebellion was Tired. 1t was a
cartridge from Dumont's rifle, but Dumont
denies that it was the cause of
the rebellion. explaining that it was
accidentally discharged. Gen. Middleton 5
men, however, regarded it as the signal to
commence firing, and shoot they did in
good earnest Dumont went over in detail
the little engagement at Duck lake. Fish
creek and Batoche, and he reminded his
blldp lC NOulu lCNCl nave
dered with his life. and that his services
might be needed again. as the condition of
the half breeds had not improved since two
years ago. He ridcules the idea of Riel
being insane. and 'humorously asserts that
the only time Riel ever exhibited symptoms
of insanity was when he gave himself up.
Dumont has too much Of dread IF the
hempen route to do that he said. The
great trouble with Rel was that he had too
many religious scruples, or was afraid OF
God" as Dumont puts it.

A GREAT MISTAKE

Has heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced by the
failure ON the part Of thousands of sufferers
to find relief, even though they have ex-
hausted the skill of various physicians and
tried numerous SO-caled remedies. To
such AthlophOros is offered as safe, sure
and quick cure. Its success has been phe-
nOnlenal, and yet it is not surprising, be-
cause it will do all that is claimed for it.
The Athlophoros company will gladly refer
any who desire to make an investigation to
reliable parties who have been cured by it.

Yesterdays storm was severe, and no
doubt interfered considerably with the at
tendance at church, which, considering the
fact that it was Palm Sunday, would have
been much larger had it not been for the
inclement weather. The streets during the
afternoon were almost deserted, and there
was almost blizzard. The reports
received at the signal office last
night show that there was but
little snow save in the immediate vicin ity
Of ST. Paul. The fall was light in the eX-
IRENE Northwest. and the thermometer
was only down to the freezing point. The
storm was central, between st. Paul and
La Crosse, and last night was reported to
be moving eastward. Orders to hoist the
cold wave signal were received at st. Paul
at n. III. Saturday night, and between
that time and 9 o'clock Sunday evening the
thermometer fell to "A > TO 25o above

Company ID. M. N. g., in Vigorous
Training for the National DRILL at
Washington.
Last night Company ID began sleeping at
the armory, and from this until May 20 will
work to attain degree of perfection that
will insure them first place at Washington,
where the company has been detailed to
represent this state at the national drill en-
campment. About forty men will sleep
regularly at the armory, cots having been
placed in the different rooms. All OF the
men are required to be in bed by 1880 p.
m, and strict camp discipline will be OBJ
served. All men who are not in the armory
at bed time will be locked out, All of the
officers will sleep at the arnory qwithu the
men. At a. m. the men will arise and,
after being served with coffee and CRACKERS
will drill until $50 a. IN. This programme
will be carried out every day until May Is,
when the whole company will go out to
Fort Smelling, where the company will
go into camp and drill every
day and evening until May 20.
The drills at the fort will ali be witnessed
by the regular army officers. in order to get
any suggestions from them that may be con-
Sidered necessary. From now until May
Is. in addition to the morning drills, the
company will have drills on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evenings. Next
Thursday evening the company will be in
spected by detail of officers from the fort.
The new regulation and fatigue uniforms
will probably be here by April -. All of
the men will wear shoes alike and blue
flannel shirts. None of the men will wear
linen collars and cuffs in the competitive
drill. The men will therefore look as much
like regular soldiers as possible.
